senator obama implied that the bush administration had descriminated against victims of hurricane katrina. cnn reported the event at the time, but the conservative website called "daily caller" is out with the full version of the speech, saying it's an exclusive videotape. we did cover this when it happened. that conservative website is arguing that it is evidence of president obama, then senator obama, whipping up race hatred. for more on this story and how it's -- how did this 5-year-old tape that did get mainstream media coverage end up resurfacing now as some sort of exclusive showing something that we apparently had all never seen before? >> well, ashleigh, it's a political year. this tape plays very well to the republican base. it's being billed on the right as obama's other race speech, so at a time when some suggest a republican challenger doesn't seem to be getting much traction, the one thing we know what works is dredging up anti-obama sentiments to get the base fired up. now, yes, this is clearly old news. it was well covered five years ago. the other thing that a democratic a

one of the signature accomplishments of president obama's administration in its first term. the justices heard the first round of what's a very lengthy debate. they're going to hear a total of six hours, and that's unusual, folks. six hours over three days, and a ruling is not expected soon. probably sometime around june. the central issue in this case, whether what's called the individual mandate that takes effect in 2014 is constitutional. it requires almost all americans to buy health insurance or pay a penalty for not doing so. congressional correspondent kate bolduan and senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin were both in court for today's arguments. they are here with us live outside in the crowd, probably a little breathless because i think you just got out of the scotus arguments, as we like to call them. jeff, let me start with you. we sort of knew going in what was at stake today and it was all about whether we should be there at all. did we get anything we didn't know? >> reporter: we got a lot we didn't know. today the issue was really procedural. is this case prema

i think the obama administration, the justice department are trying to figure it out because what happened on election day was in washington and colorado it became the first two states in the country and actually the first two political jurisdictions anywhere in the world to decide to legally regulate marijuana like alcohol, so the feds have to figure this out. >> a little like alcohol. i can buy as many bottles of beer as i want. i can only have an ounce of marijuana in washington and in colorado, right? >> that's right. it's important to say, by the way, that what's going to happen this week in washington state and next month in colorado is just going to make it legal to possess up to an ounce in the privacy of your home. you can't go out smoking in public, all this sort of thing. the part -- >> you have to stay in your home really? >> yes. washington is going to be private. not puffing down the street. this is going to be fairly subtle. the part of the laws that say that washington and colorado state governments should set up a legal regulatory system like with alcohol, those don't ente

campaign or the obama administration has made over the last four years. we haven't heard a whole lot from mitt romney. he's been in debate prep this weekend, in debate prep right now. but his running mate paul ryan addressed that last night in colorado. >> what peace through strength means is our adversaries are much less willing to test us, they're less brazen, and our allies are more willing to trust us. what it means is our adversaries when they see us projecting weakness, when they see us hollowing out our military, when they see us equivocating when it comes time to stand up for our beliefs and values overseas, they think we are a super power in decline. >> reporter: and there you have paul ryan last night in colorado trying to rev up a campaign rally. you know, we talk a lot about benghazi and how it's going to be an issue tonight. i think it's going to be an issue in a broader spectrum for mitt romney to try to talk more about terrorism in the middle east and, of course, paul ryan there talking about what america's standing is, and i think he's spe

deal with it differently than the obama administration. the biggest criticism i have heard of what mitt romney's energy policies have in place is from boone pickens. he thinks natural gas is the way to go down the road. he says that there is a total silence for all practical purposes in the romney plan as far as developing natural gas, especially for big trucks and cars. he thinks that say deficiency. this is a good, important debate. there are serious differences with romney and obama on the issue. i'm thrilled they will debate something important like this. >> we should also note the congressional budget office said 70% of the oil and gas reserves are already open. maybe the claim of $1 trillion boost in revenues is a little bit over the edge. let's wait for the governor to talk about it and we can look into it tomorrow, perhaps. i want to say there is a new commercial out. at least one news cycle which is an eternity since we heard from bill clinton. he is back in the democratic ad today. let's have a look at it. >> this election, to me

you heard from the lawmakers of the obama administration to cut that assistance. >> you're not talking peanuts, either, it's $103 billion. that's a pretty decent size stick, but the military rules at the moment, there is a sense that they're trying to act top given the parliamentary regime was won by the allies. they certainly want the money. >> reporter: you see them going both ways. on one hand, they're not giving in to the courts, and on the other hand, they're asking the united states to carry through on money. it needs that money, but at the same time there's been an uneasy relationship with the west, especially the united states that doesn't want to be seen too much in the pocket egypt. they're hoping these charges could be dropped or america could be charged with something very small and be allowed to lei leave the country. but right now it's a gamble. they just don't know. the americans might be forced to cut that assistance. a small amount of americans are being held at the embassy because they don't want to face prosecution. >>> well, it is the start of the week, and that can
